• Verify that final earthfill surfaces are free of ruts, gouges, and other features that might <br /> contribute to erosion and sediment run-off. <br /> • During earthfill operations field verify lines, grades, and dimensions using hand-held <br /> levels and inclinometers, range poles and measuring tapes. <br /> • Coordinate with the Earthwork Contractor and Owner to perform verification surveys at <br /> the completion of earthfill operations. Verify corrective action measures as determined <br /> by verification surveys. Verification surveys will also be used to determine the limits of <br /> earthfills for measurement and payment applications. Submit copy of verification <br /> surveys to the Construction Manager. <br /> 3.4.4 Clay Liner,Clay Plug, and Clay Earthfill <br /> • Perform visual and manual soil classifications (ASTM D2488) to verify that material <br /> source is suitable for clay liner, clay plug, and clay earthfill. Perform classifications <br /> continually during excavation of borrow materials. <br /> • Perform moisture-density relationship testing(ASTM D 15 57)to determine the maximum <br /> dry density and optimum moisture content of clay materials. Perform tests at testing <br /> frequencies specified in Section 3.2.2. <br /> • Verify that clay materials are placed and compacted in accordance with the <br /> Specifications. <br /> • Perform nuclear density-moisture tests(ASTM D2922 and ASTM D3 Q 17)to verify that <br /> each lift is compacted as required by the Specifications. Perform tests at testing <br /> frequencies specified in Section 3.2.2. <br /> • Verify that soil materials that are too wet for proper compaction per Specifications are <br /> properly aerated and processed to bring the moisture content of the material into the <br /> acceptable range of the optimum moisture content. <br /> • Verify that clay soils that are too dry for proper compaction per Specifications are <br /> properly moisture conditioned and processed to bring the moisture content into the <br /> acceptable range of the optimum moisture content. <br /> • Verify that acceptable moisture is maintained to reduce desiccation of the clay liner <br /> surface. <br /> • Verify that the clay liner surface is free of ruts, gouges, and other features that might <br /> damage overlying geosynthetics. <br /> Page 22 <br />
